South Somerset District Council is funding a new 25MW Battery Storage facility that will provide essential power management assistance to the National Grid. It will be one of the largest and most-advanced in the UK.

It is part of the Council’s new vision of creating more income generation opportunities, using our resources to make investments which provide a better return so we can inject more money into the services we deliver for our communities. Their strategy is to protect and improve core services, deliver public priorities and act in the best long-term interests of the district.
